Method for simulating the extent of flooding as a result of future storm surge events

In certain coastal and estuarine locations, the best and most sustainable way to enhance flood protection is to realign the primary sea defences in a landward direction. This typically involves…

Resources are limited in the sense that they are not renewable. Therefore it is important that the raw materials are used in a socially, appropriately way.

Coastal communities around the world face an increasing risk from flooding as a result of rising sea level, increasing storminess and land subsidence. Salt marshes can act as natural buffer zones…

This report of the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BFN) documents and analyses good practice examples of ecosystem-based approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation in…

Description of a participatory integrated assessment process to develop climate change adaptation solutions for coastal development

The risk of flood disasters is increasing for many coastal societies owing to global and regional changes in climate conditions, sea-level rise, land subsidence and sediment supply. At the same…
